Christa Moran, Front Desk

Christa enjoys a balanced lifestyle in Telluride and when she isn’t skiing, hiking or running she can be found cooking, reading about food or writing about food. Be sure to ask her for restaurant suggestions, where to get picnic provisions and what is in season at the Friday farmer’s market. Originally from Chicago, Christa began coming to Telluride as a child and knew that this was the place for her. She is extremely knowledgeable about the surrounds and will make sure you enjoy your time here to the fullest.

Travis Tayrien, Front Desk

It’s hard to say who is responsible for his calm, collective coolness, while at the same time being so eager to learn and easy-going. This dude just smiles. Drop all the plates? He’ll smile. Winter for 11 months? He’ll smile. World ending tomorrow? He’ll smile. You get the idea.

Kendra Norris, Front Desk

Originally from the red dirt of west Texas, Kendra brings a little southern charm to the front desk. When she isn’t out hiking or skiing you can finding her painting or playing her ukulele and crooning to her cat, Harry.
